Charges were brought against the organizer for his involvement in an incident related to a car meeting

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office has charged Deonte Vincent (DOB: February 7, 1999) with multiple felonies in connection with his involvement in a dangerous car gathering in Northeast Philadelphia on the evening of Saturday, September 21. The incident coincided with several “drift” events across the city over the weekend.

Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) officers responded to a report of an illegal vehicle gathering in the Pep Boys parking lot near the 7400 block of Bustleton Avenue. When police units arrived, the suspects fled in different directions. Several of them were stopped and detained by officers. Vincent, driving a blue Dodge Charger, ignored commands to stop, drove toward officers and collided with a vehicle that had stopped per law enforcement instructions. As a result of the collision, a witness riding in the stopped vehicle was injured.

Police recorded Vincent’s license plate before he fled, linking him to a Dodge Charger. Officers identified Vincent at the scene, which led to two charges: aggravated assault (F2), three counts of simple assault (M2), one count of possession of an instrument of crime (M1), three counts of recklessness
